Caring for the Battery
Use only SAMSUNG-approved batteries, Desktop and
Travel chargers. These chargers maximize battery life
and performance. Using other batteries or chargers
may invalidate your warranty and may damage the
battery.
For proper battery care, please follow these guidelines:
• To avoid damage, charge the battery in
temperatures that range from 32˚F to 104˚F
(O˚C to 40˚C).
• Do not use the battery charger in direct sunlight
or in high humidity areas (such as a bathroom).
• Never dispose of the battery by incineration (fire).
• Keep the metal contacts at the battery base clean.
• Do not attempt to disassemble or short-circuit the
battery, as injuries or burns may result.
• Replace the battery when it no longer provides
acceptable performance.
• Do not store the battery in high-temperature
areas for a long time.
• Do not allow metal objects or liquids to contact or
short-circuit the battery terminals, as injuries or
burns may result.
Battery Disposal and Recycling
Please be aware of the following guidelines when
disposing of or recycling the battery:
• Do not dispose of the battery in a fire; the cell
may explode. Check the regulations in your area
for special disposal instructions.
• Do not open or puncture the battery; the released
electrolyte is corrosive and may cause damage to
the eyes and skin. This substance also can be
toxic if swallowed.
• Charge the battery in accordance with the
instructions specified in this manual.
Battery Charge Indicator
The Battery Charge Indicator displays in the upper
right corner of the screen and indicates three levels of
charge. Three solid bars indicate a fully charged bat-
tery. When the battery charge level is low or empty, a
clear Battery Charge Indicator (no bars displayed)
flashes on the screen.
Tips on Battery Life
The operation time of the batteries may be shorter
than specified in the following cases:
• Battery standby time is affected by network
conditions.
• If your phone is out of a service area for an
extended time, it continues to search for service
and thus reduces battery standby time.
• Answering calls also consumes as much power as
required when making calls.
• Your Lithium Ion battery will gradually wear out
(like all batteries) and need to be replaced.
• If your battery life is shorten to half of the original
specified time, you should purchase a new one.
